Queen - It’s a Kind of Magic - Simple
It’s by Queen, so to that extent you think that it has to be a classic. It sounds good, Freddie leads it and it just sounds so passionate and inspired throughout.
Yet listen closely to the lyrics and this all sound pretty mad to me.
I can comfortably state that I …

Symbols, 1997 Album by KMFDM

The Clash Sandinista!
The Clash’s 1980 album Sandinista! in my opinion topped London Calling by far, at the time of release it was a triple album, 36 tracks this was unheard of at the time of release, the band took a loss of royalties (the didn’t get paid for the first 300,000) …

Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD
I didn’t realize that I had Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD in my collection. I assume it’s a version of a CD single because there are only two songs on it. I’m not sure I realized they made two-song CDs.
What would be the A side …
Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ by 50 Cent

Coal Miner’s Daughter

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis (1970 jazz fusion album)
